Christmas is my favorite time of year. (clap clap)
Santa brings us presents with his sleigh and reindeer.
Wouldn’t be much fun, if it were never done.
Christmas is my favorite time of year. (clap clap)

I like the presents, I like the cards.
I like decorations on my house and in my yard.
I like baby Jesus born in the hay.
After all that’s why we have a Christmas day.

Elf 1: Get to work! It’s time to load the toys on the sleigh.
Elf 2: Look at all this neat stuff.
Elf 3: They didn’t have this many toys when I was a kid. (should look old)
Elf 4: Kids these days. They’re all spoiled.
Time To Pack the Sleigh

Hey there elves, time to pack the sleigh.
It’s off in the sky before Christmas Day.
We have toys and games and puzzles too,
All kinds of gifts for grownups too!

Santa’s Computer
Santa: (dubiously) You’re sure this is going to work?
Tech 1: This is the newest Mac on the market Santa.
Tech 2: It has 200 Meg of Ram.
Santa: Ram??? You mean there are sheep in it?
Tech 3: That means memory Santa.
Tech 4: We have it hooked up to every light bulb in the entire world.
Tech 5: Just type in a name and the computer will give you a readout on their behaviour for the past 12
months.
Santa: Let’s try it out.......Mark Jones. (Type in the principal’s name ..................... sound effects
while computer prints it out. Santa reads the printout.) This one doesn’t look too promising - plays tricks on
teachers, plays golf instead of mowing the lawn........... I think this computer will really help us make our
Christmas lists.

Santa’s got a new computer helping Santa make his list.
All the boys and girls are on his data base so no one’s missed.

Santa peeks through light bulbs hooked up to his terminal.
He knows who’s good, he knows who’s bad, he knows them one and all.

Santa’s got a new computer, knows each toy in all the world.
Knows which one that you have asked for, every boy and every girl.

If you’re bad he’ll know it, and then he’ll bring you some rocks.
But if you’re good he’ll try to bring you just the gift you want.
